Beit known that .1, J EAN GARRET, a citizen of the United States of America, residing f traciii g \vheels", the object of the invention being to rovide a device of this character having a ollow handle forming a cha-mber'or reservoir for needles and the like and rovided with av closure for said reservoir aving means for-supporting a plurality ol.' tracing wheels normally concealed Within a cap formingthe butt of the handle, and fui' iently substituted in its place;

The preferred form of the invention is illusf trated in `the accompanying drawing,- in

i whiche.- 1

' wheelsu porting device. Fig. 5 is a side elel ing a 'linger rest to prevent the hand of the .35

line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is'an elevation of Fig. 4 is a detail view of the combined stopper and vation, s owinga modification.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a handle of suitable form provided at`1ts'1ow er end with a receiving'socket and ferrule 2 to receive the angular bit or upper end '3 of.a

l"common iiidevices of this character.

shank 4, which is bifurcated or divided Aat its lower end-to receive the tracing wheel 5, alslis ic ,bit 3 is adapted to be slipped into the socket and is fastened in position with the ferrule by a securing pin 1 The arms 7 of the forked 45 i ture to receive a 'ornal pin Son which the wheel 5 is revolu ly-Inounted', one, end 'of or'b'furcated por'tionoi` the shank ,are apersaid pin being reduced and threaded, asat 9, to engage the opening of the arm in which it lits to'securc `said pin in position. The pin has a nickcd head to adapt it to bea plied and removed by an ordinary screw river. 'lhc shank 4 in Fig. 1 isv straight while the shank 4 shown in Fig. 5 is lowered or curved.

The liaiidlcis ,formed with 'a chamber 10 and substituted dit) plug or stopper 13, from which extends an upwardly projecting. threaded stem 14. housed Within `the cap 12'. On this stein may be arranged a 'desired'nuniher or supply of tracing wheels 15, through the openings inwhich the stein extends, said stem being provided u'ith a clainpinfr nut 16 to secure the )wheels in position. 'll-he adjustability of the nuts enables any desired number of the wheels to be held, and the latter are con. cealed and protected from injuryby the cap 12.- When it is desired to get access to the cliai'iiber 10 the holder as an entirety 'may be turned torelease tlicstopper 13, as will be readily understood, which stopper may he as readily a )plied in position to close the chainbcr. Wllien the tracing wheel iny use' becomes `bent or otherwise injured one of the wheels 15 Within the cap may be detached from the holder alter removing the cap in an obvious manner in'its lace.-l l ,l It will thus b'e seen that the invention provides a' simple,` convenient and ellicient depurpose stated.

vice for the rl`he shan 4 is provided above its bifur- .cated portion with a projecting lug 17 formsurface of the wheel and being in prising a handle, a sup orting stem upon the upper end of the hand e, securing means asscciated with the stem, `and a cap upon the handle inclosing said stern.'

...3. A device ofthe character described comprising a handle, a' screwstem supprtedhy the upper end of. the handle and adapted to carry a series of tracing wheels. means for .confining the wheels upon the stern, and a "cap applicable to the handle to inclose said Astern and the wheels supported thereby.

4. A dev-ice of the character described eornprising a handle, a supporting stein upon the upper end of the handle, a clampingr nut car-A riedby the stem, and a ca removably mounted on the handle and lnclosing the sterna 5. A device of the character described coin'-VV risinOv a handle havin a chamber therein av j stopper closing 'the chamber, a screw stem vshank supported by the handle and having a forked end, a tracing wheel journaled between the arms of the fork, and a linger rest upon the shank in line with the space between the fork arms and overhanging the periphery ofthe tracing wheel.`

A7 A tracing device comprising a handle, a shank projecting from the lower end of the handle, a tracing wheel journaled on the shank, and a forwardly proj eoting finger rest arranged directly on the shank and forming a guard or shield directly overhnnging the periphery of the wheel.

In testimony whereof I afHX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
